Bing has made a lot of bets over the years that haven't really panned out, maybe it will be different this time.

Granted, Microsoft is much less reliant on Bing's ad revenue than Alphabet is on Google's, which might allow Bing to really change the search experience without having to worry too much about selling ads. It's going to be interesting to see how these products evolve in ways that serve both the user and the business interests behind the search results, especially if we start seeing VC backed AI search engines pop up which don't need to focus on existing advertiser revenue.
